AT1- Osmosis In Potatoes Aim: Investigate the movement of osmosis through a selectively permeable membrane‚ in this case potato. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi permeable membrane‚ separating solutions of different concentrations. The water passes from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration‚ until the two concentrations are equal in concentrations of water. Many cell membranes behave as semi permeable membranes‚ and osmosis

stabilized with magnesium ions‚ to their cell wall that further protects them. When Gram positive bacteria are treated with lysozyme‚ the lysozyme breaks down the peptidoglycan‚ allowing the cell to rupture if it is in a hypotonic solution or change shape without rupturing if it is in an isotonic solution. The LPS of Gram negative bacteria protects the peptidoglycan from being affected by lysozyme. When Gram negative bacteria is treated with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA)‚ a chelator‚ this destabilizes

Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Potatoes The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water in and out of plant cells. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers. Firstly I will explain what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane

movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (Brown 1999). Hypertonic is the solution with a higher salt concentration. Hypotonic solution is the solution with the lower salt concentration. My hypothesis is that the potato core will increase in size. When the solution is hypertonic‚ the potato will decrease in size making the potato hypotonic. Osmosis is really interesting‚ that is why I chose to write this report about it.

over night. It was done in order to compare the initial mass of the pieces and the ones after being placed into the solute concentration. Pieces which were placed into a hypotonic (lower) concentration of solute should increase in mass‚ those in hypertonic (higher) concentration should decrease in mass and the ones put into an isotonic concentration (same) should stay the same before and after. All those changes will take place because of osmosis. Dependent variables: change in mass of pieces of potatoes

At the beginning it was 50 mL after the solution it was 60 mL; it had a 10 mL difference. It is visible that a hypotonic solution was present. This rejects the hypothesis made. When the egg was placed in 150 mL of vinegar and left intact overnight the egg did sink to the bottom and remain that way‚ however‚ the mass was increased instead of keeping it the same‚ by

the egg would become larger when soaked in syrup than it once was due to the hypotonic environment. Hypothesis #3: It was hypothesised that the egg would soak in water for 72 hours‚ losing mass. Introduction: Osmosis occurs when water from extracellular fluid from the interior of the cell also diffuses freely through the cell membrane‚ in a way that concentration of water on both sides of the membrane are equal. Isotonic: When

Chapter 7 Study Guide Cell Structure and Function Section 71: Robert Hooke used an early compound microscope to look at a thin slice of cork. It seemed to make tiny empty chambers (cells). Anton van Leeuwenhoek used a singlelens microscope to observe pond water & other things. The microscope revealed a world of tiny living organisms that seemed to be everywhere. Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants were made up of cells. Theodor Schwann stated that all animals were made up of cells
